Hath  he  watched  for  the  dawn  of  early  day, 

With  fever'd  and  wakeful  brain  ? 
And  sought  from  the  depths  of  a  wearied  mind, 

Fresh  vigor  to  toil  again  ? 

Hath  thfir  o'ertasked  frame  eunk  down  to  rest, 
,  Subdued  by  the  noonday  heat. 
While  the  «y»  closed  heavily  o'er  its  work, 
And  pulse  seemed  forgetting  to  beat. 

To  the  pale  high  brow,  at  the  close  of  day, 

Hath  the  Wirning  Iriind  been  press'd  ? 
As  if  it  could  stay  the  rushing  tidq,    „  ,      ; 

Of  thought,  in  its  wild  unrest- K  i  6-  .        £i*H  ti

And  wrap  r  in  the  veil  of  liia  o.vn  fair   dreams.

Now  rest  thee,  .\rtist  !  thy  work  is  o'er — 

The  triumph  of  art  thou  hast  won  • — 
Doth  the  canvas  glow  in  its  trutht'ul  light  ; 

Then  rest  I  for  thy  task  is  done. 

The  proud  blue  waves  in  their  beauty  rise, 

Andw  .3h  the  dew-spangled  shore, 
While  the  curling  smolie,  and  the  mellow  dawi  , 
Troclaira  that  thy  task  is  o'er. 

The  steamer  glides  like  a  "thing  of  life," 

O'er  the  mighty  river's  breast  ; 
And  tho  Islet  starts  from  its  wat'ry  bed. 

In  its  native  grandeur  drest. 

The  city  her  colour'd  wing  doth  spread, 

Above  the  boat-filled  shore. 
While  low  beneath,  you  think  you  hear 

The  plash  of  the  Boatman's  oar. 

The  Mound  in  its  sombre  beauty  stands. 

Unlike  to  its  ancient  race  ; 
Untouched  by  the  finger  of  blighting  time, 

Or  the  sword  of  the  dread  "  Pale  face  !" 

With  its  \vinuingpath  that  lures  yo'u  on. 

Like  the  streamlet's  gulling  flow  ; 
'Till  you  stand  in  pride  on  the  topmost  height, 

And  gaze  on  the  world  below. 

Crag,  Cave  and  Mountain — Urakc  and  Field, 

In  their  varied  form   appear-- 
With  the  Forest  dense,  and  the  giant  Blutl", 

As  if  nature  ,had  placed  them  here. 

Art,  art  !-- -ihou  hasl  comiucr'd  ;  glide  on,  glide  on 

Unroll  the  vast  canvas  wide,

For  natuf<3  and  art  with  their  traiiit 
And  blended,  sucin  bounding  Hue  ; 

The  Arti.-it  hath  iiiumphed  !  unrol!uurol 
I.ol  niillion.i,  the  victory  si  i' 


most  interesting  portion^.of  our  fair  country  as  the  subject^  foi 
hi:' brush.  Itie  valleys  .of  these  noble  rivers  now  sustain  a 
vast  number  of  our  race,  and  the  time  is  rapidly  hastening 
on  when  this  portion  of  our  heritage  will  rivui  in  population 
the  old  world.  And  wlial  is  belter,  the  artist  has  selected  the 
most  interesting  picturesque  parts  of  these  magnificent  vallies 
— parts  asssociated  wiih  some  of  the  most  thrilling  events  of 
our  history.  And  what  is  still  better,  he  has  copied  nature  in 
all  her  glorious  charms,  with  a  truthfulness  and  skill  that  nev- 
er has  been  beaten  by  any  of  his  predecessors  in  panoramic 
productions. 

The  artist,  in  this  work,  has   not  only  excelled  in  coloring 
and  artistic  finish,  but    he   has   also  given  a  clear  and  distinct 
view  of  every  object  whicli  his   pencil   has  touched,  and  pre- 
sented to  the  eye  as  they  now  really  exist  on  the  banks  of  the 
glorious  streams,  whether  seen  in   the  glare   uf  the  noonday 
sun  or  in  the  mild  beams  of  the  Queen  of  night.     If  his  gehius 
s:ikl  to' his   pencil,  "Give   nie  a  splendid   church,  handsome 
•  msnsioti  house,  noble  vessels,  the  beautifnl'  water,  the*green 
.   iiill,tho  Indian  inouud,  the  hundile  cottage,  or  the  bold  clifi',' 
^-  these  objects  come  out  upon  canvas  in  art  iheir  natural  beauty 
under  talisnianic  touch.     The  truth  is,  the   artist  has  given  us 
,    In  this.woik  oSjccts  just  as  they  are  i  o\v;  seen  uhdoi  the  most 
■'    favorable  circuiifftances.    The  beautil'ul  cities  !4nd  villages  are 
plain  nnd  distinct  to   the  observer  as  ^hey  uSretO'the  artist 
wh^n  he  sketched  them.      The   buildings   and  streets  are  not 
run  into  a  confus<^  mass,  'bewildering  ihu  mind  and  troubling 
the  eye  to  distinguish  one  from  tlie  other,  bwt  all  are  distinctly 
visible.     We  might  go  on  and  fill  .several  sheets  with  descrip- 
tions of  this  beautil'ul   Panorama,  but  our  rei'ders  will  go  and 
seejbr  themselves.     Comparisons  we  know  are  invidious,  but

A  New  Panorama. — This  picture  presents  views  of  the 
diversified  scenery  of  twelve  diiiereiit  slates,  in  a  distance  of 
twenty  three  hundred  miles.  It  would  not  do  to  make  com- 
parisons biHween  it  and  the  other  popular  works  of  the  same 
kind  that  have  been  exliiliited  in  Boston,  but  it  will  be  no  in- 
justice to  other  artists  to  say  that  this  is  equal  in  iiieiit  to  eith- 
er of  them.  Nor  can  we,  after  once  seeing  it,  only,  point  out 
what  particular  p^irl  of  it  is  the  best.  It  is  pronounced  to  be 
accurate,  as  a  picture  of  the  places  intended  to  be  portrayed, 
by  those  acquuinttd  with  the  localities,  and  it  will  be  an  ex- 
cellent study  for  persons  who  have  never  visited  the  Western 
and  Southern  part  of  our  country,  as  well  as  interesting  to 
those  who  wish  to  revive  former  recollections.  To  scholars 
in  geography  it  will  be  of  use,  and  to  all  itwiM  aflbrda  profit- 
able and   pleasant  two   hours'  amusement. — Boston  Courier, 

Nov.  4th,  1S4S.  

"Of  all  the  exhibitions  in  the  city  at  present,  none  appear 
to  be  more  popular  than  the  inmionse  Panorama  of  the  Missis- 
sippi and  Ohio  rivers,  at  Ainory  Hall  Washington  street-  it  is 
indeed  a  work  of  rare  merit.  Parents  and  teachers  will  do 
well  to  take  their  children  and  pupils  to  witness  this  painting, 
not  only  as  a  source  of  ent-ertainnient  but  of  instruction  also."

We  dropped  in  to   see   the   Panorama   at  Ainory  Hall,  on 

[i  Wednesday  evening,  and  found    the   place   well  filled  with  a 

11  goodly  company.     \V'ilh  the  Panorama  we  were  niucli  pleased]

I'auorania  of  till'  Mississippi  and  Ohio  lliversi  .uiil  iiow 
tjeiied  at  Aiiioiy  Hail,  is  umlonbtodly  one  of  iho  must  inter- 
pstinjr  exhi!-/ suns  that  luis  ever  visited  our  city.  As  a  beau  ^ 
t'ful  Tandscape  paiiiling,  euverin:;  moe  than  Hi),!!!)!*  feet  of 
canvas,  it  is  well  worth  seeing  by'  all  who  can  enjoy  a  good 
picture,  especially  one  upon  which  the  eye  may  rest  tor  an 
hour  or  two  wlidf  a  constant  succession  of  new  and  ever 
varyino-  objects  are  being-  gradually  unfolded  to  the  gaze. — 
Dut  it  fs  a  most  trulb.inl  n'pre.s(V;italioii  of  the  mighty  Miss 
issippi,  the  'rather  of  waters,'  and  its  most  beaiitilul  triimtary, 
t.ie  Ohia,  witli  the  cities,  towns  and  villages,  on  their  bajiks, 
i.nd  the  vast  fleets  of  steameis  and  fiat  boats,  that  float  u|)oii 
their  waters,  and  it  is  for  this  cause  that  this  c.\iiibitioii 
becomes  one  of  the  most  valuable  and  instructive,  fliat  can 
be  presented  to  a  New  England  Tublic. 

For  the  youth  cf  our  coina.unity,  who  are  now  aLuuiring 
their  education  in  our  public  schools,  this  is  proliably  the 
ii'iost  rational  and  iustnielive  entertainment  that  oould  po.ssi- 
bly  be  devised,  and  parents,  we  think,  would  do  well  to  visit 
it,  not  more  flir  their  own  gratilicalioii,  than  for  the  purpose 
cf  civing  their  children  the  benefit  of  one  truly  instructive 
ft'ufrational  amusement  now  off.  red  them,  aini<l  the  innu- 
merable pernicious  and  corrupting  public  shows  witii  which 
it  is  our  misfortune  from  time  to  time  to  be  visited  Wo 
phould  be  glad  to  give  at  this  time,  a  particular  description  of 
ills  irreat  "panorama,  but  lime  and  space  will  not  allow  it. 
Audit  is,  moreover,  scarcely  called  for,  as  the  lecture  during 
t'.ie  movement  of  the  paintini:,  cleaily  and  fully  exjilains 
I  very  part  of  it,  and  conveys  an  amount  of  geographical  ami, 
i.isto"rical  infurmation  which  the  young  pupil  would  not  be 
likely  to  ac(pure  in  weeks  of  study.  Stretching  as  it  doe.s 
over  an  extent  of  fifteen  degrees  of  latitude,  it  conducts  the 
mectators  from  a  region  of  "frosts  to  a  region  of  perpetual 
rnmuvr,  from  the  hemlock  and  fir  trees  of  the  iinrtherii 
Allefhauics,  to  the  orange  groves  of  the  sunny  south,  a  dis- 
lance  of  more  than  twenty  three  hundred  miles. 

The  Panorama  of  the  Ohio  and  Msssissippi  River.'=  is,  in  my 
i  idgincut  a  production  of  great  merit,  and  entitled  to  univer 
Bil  |vitrouao-e.  Kverv  thing  presented  to  the  eye  appears  not 
as  a  mere  picture,  but  as  the  reality  itself  The  magnificent 
livers  seem  in  actual  flow,  and  it  is  almost  impossible  not  to 
iuiaVinc  yourself  on  the  very  spot  of  the  startling  and  roman- 
tic Icenery  upon  wdiioh  you  are  gazing  with  wonder  and 
admiration  Th"  ])aiuting  is  an  achievemont  of  faithfn! 
i'ldustirv  and  genius  Even  individual  objects  are  depicted 
with  siii'prising  accuracy.  As  an  instance,  I  may  remark, 
that  one  of  my  pupils,  from  the  state  of  Ohio,  instantly  re- 
ro^nized  Ifn  father's  dwelling,  and  could  scarcely  rel'raiii 
f-om  shouting  with  delight.  Parents  and  teachers  will  do 
■ell  to  take  tlicir  children  and  pupils  to  visit  the  Paintinir, 
*^ot  only   as  a  source  of  enterlamment,   but  of  instriintioa

Cut,  Mr  Editor,  w-liilo  Icoking  last  evening  at  the  Panorama 
of  the  Mississippi  and  Oh  o  rivers,  was  amazed  that  art  could 
bring  into  a  hall  in  our  city  those  rivers,  their  hanks,  cities 
trees,  wood  yards,  plantations,  and  various  boats,  and  show' 
the  delighted  spectator  th(;se  wonders  of  nature  and  art  in  two 
short  hours. 

As  1  have  passed  up  and  down  those  rivers  retieatedly  { 
can  aa.-ure  the  community  that  they  ought  to  avail  themselves 
of  the  opportunity  to  see  those  beauties  of  our  country,  when 
they  can  do  it  for  twenty  fi\e  cents,  without  dang(!r  of  bciuir
